THE SCENERY.

and Distant Mountain Views.

beautiful in Valley, Quiet and Loveliness
and Distant Mountain Views.
The scenery of this section is Of rare
beauty aud attraction. Looking to the
west are the timber-hordered banks of the
two e eat rivers, as they flow to the foot of
the coast range, from which rises Mount
Diablo. To the north is the valley of the
Sacramento, with its parked plains be-
tween the converging lines of the two
mountain ranges on either hand. To the
east are the great elevated masses of the
S;erras, rising one above another almost to
4 snow line. To the south is the broad
valley of the san joaquin, rs far as the
eye can reach. In the foreground on every
side are great parks of oaks, rivaling in
size those on the ancestral estates of Eng
land. Along the streams are winding
borders of oaks, sycalnoreS, cottcnwoods
and willows, hung with graceful curtains
Of wild vines Of the beauty of this country
aud its wealth of flowers in spring.
As FREMONT SAW IT.
General Fremont, in the report of his
explorations Of 1914, says:
March 25th.-We travelled for twenty
eight miles over the same delightful coun-
try as yesterday, and halted in beautiful
bottom at the ford OF the Rio de los Nuke
lemnes, receiving Its name from another
Indian tribe living on the river. The
bottoms on the stream are broad, rich and
extremely fertile, and the uplands are

that III the near future she railroad run

to the great sugar pine belt and to the
Big Trees of the Sierras. This will still
further extend the
TERRITORY TRIBUTARY ro LODI
And add to her trade, wealth and popula-
ton. The best route to the Csfrveras Big
Trees, the most northern and saost easily
accessible of the groups of orr Gigantic
lSeYsoio, is now by Lodi and Valley Springs.
The distance is shortest, the roads the best
and the elevation to be attained the lowest.
All who wish to see these forest monarchs
should take this route. Every home
seeker and capitalist should bear i'm mind
that there are no lower rates of transnorta-
tion an this continent than from this sec
tion to and from the ocean, that great
highway Of commerce. This fact atone
should make the lands of this section
sought for.

SURROUNDING TOWNS.

The other towns of this section are
Woodbridge, three miles west OF Rodi, IN
old town on the narrow-gauge railroad, in
rich section, with a large trade. 1t has
ore of the hest institutions Of lear1ing in
the State-the San Joaquin Valles Col
lege- Woodbridge is rapidly making
reputation as an educational center.
New Hope is another town in a coua.ts
every acre of which is as rich as the mos,
fertile spot of the valley of the Nile. There
is 10 richer lands for alfalfa orchards and
vineyards than these around New Hopes
1t Is handy to both rail and water trans
portation, and the newcomer should visit
it before locating.
Acampo is on the main line of railroad,
four miles north of Lodi and in the rich
Mokelumne valley. 1t is a pretty and
prosperous place. The other towns fnote
are Lockeford and Clements on the narrow

A WORD TO HOMESEEKERs.
Colonies Ready fo Receive Newcomers
The Opportunities for Them.

Cc@eaies Ready f6 Receive Newcomers
The Opportunities for Them.
There are no better people than are to
be found in northern San Joaquin county.
They are hospitable, intelligent and pro-
gressive- They are like their climate
warm, sunny and genial. The homeseeker
who locates here will find tie best of
friends and neighbors around him.
There are two colonies organized near
Lodi that offer superior inducements to
settlers. The Live Oak Colony is situated
on the narrow-guage railroad between Lodi
and Locketord- 1t comprises several hun
dred acres of first-class land winch will be
sold in quantities TO suit purchasers. 1t
has good soiE and is most eligibly situated
with'reference to railroads and markets.
George F. Cluf, Lodi, is the agent.
THE L.ASGFoRD COLONY
Is situated on the north bank of the
Mokelumne river, five miles from Lodi.
two and q half miles from Acampo, two
miles from Lockeford, and one mile from
Harmony Station This colony tract com
prises 2,006 acres of land as rich as anv
in the garden spots of the famed valleys of
the Mississippi or the Miami. The soil is
a warm, alluvial loan, more than twenty
feet deep 1t was ence covered with giant
oaks, natures letters patent of fertility
1t Is unexcelled land for alfalfa, fruit trees.
vines and vegetables II has beautiful
locality, is in Il triangle between two rail-
roads and four stations, has good schools
all around it.. and is surrounded by Or
chards and vineyards, that give indisput-
able evidence to its adaptability to horti-
culture. Twenty acres here Will make a
picturesque home, yield generous support
to a family, and grow the vines and fig
trees under which the homeseeker can re-
cline through all his life

rapid transportation, plenty OF fuel, cheap
building material, an abundance of ure
water, uneNcelled educational advantages,

lar scandalous matter from its columns the
chances are he would tell you that such q
Journal would fall fiat. His defense, when
you tax him with publishing articles that are

whether they ale fit to be or not; he
will insist, moreover, hat they are read by
the very people who would be least expected
TO read them. He may be- right in his cynical
view or he may be wrong. The fact remains
that most of the papers seem to be going
